The Effect of Gender Equality Reflected in ‘Birds of Prey’ Movie

Abstract

Gender equality have been recorded in numerous spheres, with increasing social and economic gender equality predicting increased gender disparity. Due to various reference groups in more and less gender-equal societies, many of these findings have been disregarded as artifactual because they used subjective rating scales. While recent research has documented the gender-equality conundrum using an objective criterion—the pursuit of feminist discourse analysis to examine the narrative strategies. This article demonstrated that we just can find the equality gender in fiction only, rare in real life like in this movie. This article argues that the mobilisation of gender equality discourses through Birds of Prey movie uses neoliberal feminist logics, supporting pro-women messages such as equal opportunity and empowerment of political context. Conversely, the validity of this finding has been questioned hence the gender-inequality dominated the truth in social or economic fields. Feminist media studies and media industries studies use Birds of Prey as an example to show how larger gendered expectations towards woman.
